The need for well-trained network security professionals continues to grow at an exponential rate. 

Cisco Networking Academy is one of the world’s longeststanding IT skills-to-jobs programs. At the same time, it prepares students to obtain internationally recognized certificates, which open up new opportunities for them and increase their value on the labor market. Our school has been involved in the Network Academy program since 2007.
